When I saved my outlook contacts folders they were saved as word docs.  Is
there any way I can still import them to my new instalklation of outlook?

Thanks

Short answer = NO however............

IF #1- your contacts were saved in rows (one contact per line)
   #2 - used some form of recognizable delimitor (i.e. CSV equiv format or
TAB)
then would simply need to save the file in TEXT format. If the first row
doesn't have column (field name) headers - you'd need to add those too.
